§
411-601. Withdrawal by a member municipality

A member
municipality may withdraw from the District upon the following terms and
conditions:

(1) A member
municipality may withdraw from the District upon a positive vote of the legal
voters of the municipality to withdraw at a duly warned regular or special
meeting of the municipality. Any withdrawing municipality shall continue to be
obligated to pay to the District its share of all debt incurred by the District
prior to its withdrawal; its share of the cost of all long-term contracts
entered into by the District prior to its withdrawal; and all costs, including
costs for legal services incurred by the District, in connection with such
withdrawal. A withdrawing municipality shall, in addition, be liable to the
District for any subsequent liability incurred by the District by reason of any
actions or omissions of the District during the time the withdrawing
municipality was a member of the District, the withdrawing municipality's
liability being the total of the District's liability multiplied by the
fraction the numerator of which is the total volume of waste disposed of by the
withdrawing municipality during the period the liability was created, and the
denominator of which is the total volume of waste disposed of by the District
during the period the liability was created.

(2) No member
municipality may withdraw from the District until at least one year after the
District commences to be a body politic and corporate, and may withdraw from
the District only if the District has not voted to bond for construction and
improvements.

(3) Any
withdrawal by a member municipality shall take place in accordance with the
procedures set forth in 24 V.S.A. § 4863(h) and (j).
